Article Abstract

Purpose: Benign ureteroenteric anastomosis stricture (BUES) is a well-recognized long-term complication following urinary diversion (1). While endourological interventions are often first-line, their success rates are limited (2, 3). Open uretero-ileal reimplantation remains the gold standard but is technically challenging and carries high complication risks (2). Robotic surgery offers a promising alternative with comparable success rates and minimally invasive benefits (4). In addition to the da Vinci® system, several new surgical robotic systems have been developed, demonstrating comparable safety and efficacy (5-7). This study reports our experience with robotic-assisted Boari-flap using the KangDuo-Surgical-Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) System in managing long-segment BUES after radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder.

Materials And Methods: A 64-year-old man developed left BUES 2.5 years after robot-assisted radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder. After nephrostomy drainage for 6 months, a robotic-assisted Boari-flap was performed using the KD-SR-01 system in the Trendelenburg position. Surgical steps included: neobladder mobilization, distal ureter dissection, neobladder flap creation, ureter-flap anastomosis, and flap tubularization.

Results: Surgery was successful without conversion. The stricture length was 5 cm. The neobladder flap measured 5 × 3 cm (length × width). Operating time was 145 minutes, with 30 mL of blood loss. The nephrostomy tube and double-J stent were removed two months postoperatively. At three-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with stable serum creatinine. Cine magnetic resonance urography demonstrated normal ureteral peristalsis and ureteral jets. No postoperative complications occurred.

Conclusions: Robotic-assisted Boari-flap after radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder is technically feasible. A larger cohort with longer follow-up is necessary to assess its safety and effectiveness.

Objectives: To balance the extended functional urinary voiding and morbidity outcomes amid Ileal W and Y-shaped contrasted to spherical ileocoecal (IC) orthotopic bladders subsequent prostate-sparing radical cystectomy (PRC) versus standard radical cystoprostatectomy (RC).

Material And Methods: Two hundred eight male bladder cancer patients were grouped into 98 RC followed by 43-W, 31-Y, and 23-IC in comparison to 110 PRC followed by 35-W, 37-Y, and 38-IC. The functional voiding outcomes were determined by detailed patients' interview and urodynamic studies (UDS).

Purpose: To describe our integrated pelvic fascial structure-sparing (IPFSS) technique for robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ONB) reconstruction and to evaluate its impact on urinary continence and sexual function in male patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a single high-volume center. Male bladder cancer patients who underwent IPFSS RARC with ONB were included.

Background: An ileal neobladder is a standardized form of urinary diversion that provides acceptable outcomes in terms of long-term quality of life. Urothelial carcinomas (UCs) arising in the ileal neobladder are extremely rare, and few reports on this have been published in the English language.

Case Summary: We report a case of UC that developed in the ileal neobladder of a 63-year-old man.

Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to generate evidence on the complication rates between robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal ileal conduit (RARC ICIC) and RARC and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (RARC ICONB).

Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was performed, and all the articles from inception up to June 30, 2024, were screened. Studies reporting on perioperative complications as per the Clavien-Dindo classification and comparing RARC ICIC with RARC ICONB were included.
